Editorial
     Since the last issue we have had our Annual General
Meeting.  While I was hoping the secretrary would bestir
himself sufficiently to write a report about what
happened at the meeting it seems not to be.  The major
items which came out of the meeting was a change of
leadership, with Stan finishing his reign as Chairman and
Keith being elected to take his place.  While Keith as
suggested this is in reality a "Group North Takeover
Plot" we know in reality that unlike other clubs we don't
care if our members are also members of other societies
because we know we are the best in South Australia.

     In addition, the club has made an addition to its
code of conduct regarding the use of sexist language.  It
is now prohibited within the club rooms and should not be
tolerated anywhere.  We have though, recieved one protest
letter against this move we have have reproduced here for
the interest of wargamers.  While its an eloquent
rebuttal of the idea of Politically Correct Speech in
general it fails to, in my opinion anyway, grasp that we
have not yet gone very far down that road nor intend to
either.

     Gauntlet has now gone online.  After concluding an
agreement with Joseph Boeke in the United States, copies
of Guantlet will from now be lodged electronically at his
site.  They can be accessed (along with lots of other
really nice wargaming stuff) via anonymous FTP at the
address ftp.uadv.uci.edu, in the directory
\gronard\zines.  Unfortunately though, due to the
limitations of the medium, these copies are only plain
ASCII files at the moment and do not feature any
illustrations.

     As Jeff has noted in his Campiagn Co-ordinator's
report, the club moves from strength to strength with
regards to the quantity and quality of the campiagns
being presented.  However, this is not being reflected in
the magazine.  This issue is the lightest thus far under
my editorship.  We were only saved by contributions from
non-club members.   This is not something I would like to
see repeated.  So, if you want the magazine to continue
to be of a high standard, its up to you as members to
make contributions.  If you're read a good book lately,
then write a short review of it.  If you've played a
great game lately, then write a short article about it.
If you've run a campiagn, write it up.  If you have a
particular interest in a certain topic which would be
interesting to other members, write it up.  Its not hard
but please do it.


CONTRIBUTIONS

     All contributions to Gauntlet are gratefully
accepted.  Preferred method is via computer disk.  Most
popular brands of Word Processors can be accepted (as can
disk size) with the exception of Amiga (and even that can
be overcome with a little work and a couple of modems).

     Contributions can be made by either handing it to me
directly the next time you see me at the club, posting it
to our post office box, handing it to another committee
member, putting it behind the bar, pinning it to a notice
board and also via email.  My AARNet email addresses are:
                            
                brian@coombs.anu.edu.au.
                 gebr@cc.flinders.edu.au

SO THERE ARE NO EXCUSES WHY YOU CANNOT MAKE THE NEXT....
